International Ladder Safety Training

Section 1

This section covers the first of the four Ladder Safety Steps. We look at what you need to consider when you’re selecting a ladder – including the ladder safety steps, ladder’s size, material and duty rating.

Section 2

For the second step, we look at how you can conduct a Pre-check correctly on stepladders and non-self-supporting ladders (including extension ladders). We also demonstrate how to find and mark a ladder’s Balance Point.

Section 3

Here, we take you through the setup process. We provide a ‘Low Shoulder Carry’ and ‘1:4 Ratio’ demonstrations, we explain the setup “do’s and don'ts” for all ladders, and we also include how to extend and set up an extension ladder.

Section 4

This section gives you concise practical steps for using a stepladder, a single ladder and an extension ladder. We discuss Ladder Etiquette, provide a list of how to lower a ladder safely and the maintenance and storage of ladders.
